So I would let your rogue sneak up on them if she does so successfully.Having said that, it's extremely weird that your rogue would be sneaking through the woods on the side of the road that far ahead of the rest of the group for the entire day or days and however-many-multiple miles without any reason to beleive they would be ambushed on the journey, thus about doubling the travel time. Just seems like an odd thing to do, and odd that the other player characters would be OK with that. Your player probably didn't think of it this way and was just wanting to sneak because, rogue obviously. But it's one of those cases of a very subtle meta-gaming going on, so subtle your player probably didn't realize it.Also, the goblins aren't sitting in the middle of the road. They are hidden themselves, camped just off the road in the woods. So depending on which side of the woods your rogue is sneaking through, she may miss them completely. Or she may sneak up on them and notice them at the same time they notice her.It just makes more sense that the rogue is traveling with the others, with no real reason to sneak at this time, much less for the whole day, at the point at which the adventure begins.</blockquote>
